These lights look just like flickering flames. Creates a beautiful soft light. I have 24 of these lining my walks, flower beds and under my palm trees. Put together easily. Most will light throughout the night in the summer. Due to our location we keep them out all year. They’ve worn well under intense heat and weather conditions. One suggestion, place in areas you won’t use a weed eater. The heavy plastic poles can’t withstand a weed eater lol. Other than that very durable. Original sets I purchased 2-3 yrs ago are still charging and lighting as well as the new set I recently purchased!
